Price Computing Scales: Calculate total price based on weight and unit price. Widely used in supermarkets.
Industrial Trade Scales: Larger platform scales for bulk goods, pallets, or warehouse use.

Smart POS Scales: Integrate with point-of-sale systems and inventory software for real-time data tracking.

Applications
